Gormley of Washington, chairman of the car service division of the American Railway Association. “It is well recognized,” said Gormley, Heads Claim Agents J. D. SHIELDS. “that every dollar saved in loss and damage is a net dollar to the railroads, but I wish to emphasize the point that the opportunity for increasing the net earnings of the railroads by utilizing equipment to more nearly its full carry- | ing capacity presents further o sibility.” =z i P — Ancient Race Found.
